Love Between Lines
-
Growing up,
I found getting lost in books
Was the best way to survive.
All sorts of stories,
Where someone is saved,
And happily ever after is never explained.
Paper cuts and the smell of cigarettes,
Separating fact from fiction.
I think now on how you grew up,
Parallel alongside me.
How I'd come to accept that while books
Imitated life,
There would be no savior,
No happily ever after for someone
Like me.
You existed outside of my realm of knowledge,
A lightning strike for a smile
And beautiful-
Like the heroes from the storybooks.
Do you like mint with chocolate?
I had asked,
And you hesitated with lightning.
Honesty, honesty, honesty.
Such simple questions to unravel my worldview,
To find there was a story being written about me all along-
Just within you.
Depends on the context,
You laughed.
But yes, I do.
I do too.
I do too.

i was today years old when i realized that we don't have to be the same person everyday, we can always be a completely different person tomorrow; we can change our aesthetics, our interests or what makes us us. we haven't owed anyone to be the same on a daily basis we can change constantly. this is us putting ourselves in brackets or definition or whatever you call it.
Everyone needs a Nick when they're having a bad day💗
I fucked it all up again,
everything is
terrible,
I am very
miserable,
but…
also relieved
to be back here,
in this familiar place
with nowhere further
to fall.
fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.
NEVER let men be masculine. hold the line soldiers
Sometimes people leave you
Questioning all of your instincts
Because you thought you knew
You thought you felt it
You thought you could trust yourself
You thought it was real
And then reality stepped in and showed you
An entirely different view
A painful view
A view you do not care for
A view you cannot unsee
And it hurts
And it bleeds
And you need someone to blame
So you blame yourself
This is how people get lost
This is how I got lost
Am I getting a good grade in tumblr mutual?
She was just like the moon: lonely and untouchable, yet romantic and shrouded in mystery.
You can have everything, and still be broken.
